This exhibition was astonishing to one who had lived 2B years In Astoria, but the fuels were vouched for by one who Hits Ksted. 'The climate In St. Paul was de lightful, and the Indian summer, of which we all have such fond recollec tions, was In lis glory. I was particularly pleased In St. Paul with the unnilxT or Southern peo ple who have settled there since the war. St. Paul, you know, Is a solid city, and In no place did I see such an exemplification or the harmonious bus iness and social relations of the North and the South as In St. Paul. After spending a dellghtrul week there I went direct to Iioston. through Canada, by the way of Montreal, where I stopped one day. The country near Montreal is very iiutTesimg. une farms are owned by descendants of the French and are laid off In long narrow strips, neatly fenced and under a high state of cultivation. The houses are built of stone and the smallest villages are ornamented by large and handsome Catholic church. At every station my mind reverted to my esteemed friend, the Hev. Father Dlelman, and I wondered why he had not located In that Ood-lovlng and prosperous coun try. I'pon Inquiry as to tho sources f support of the magnltlcenre and gran deur of the churches, I learned that the reverend fathers can from the pul pit levy a tax, which Is a lien upon the land, and collect the same with more certainty than taxes are collected In Astoria. This power was provided for In the original treaty between France and England concerning the Dominion. I regretted very much that In my haste I was not able to remain longer In that Interesting country, as I was Invited to what the English call hurdle rRce. Having lived so long In the West, I hnrdly knew what the term meant, but know that I should have enjoyed It, as It was participated In by both ladles and gentlemen. Leaving Canada, I went through the heart of New England, the state of New Hampshire, at a low rate of speed, and had plenty of opportunity to view the country. Tho mountains were rug ged, but the country was well cultl- ated and every farm was Indicative of the character of the people, of whom I met a number. They are patrlotlo In the extreme, and Imbrued with the Importance of the coming election. In conversation with the farmers, It was astonishing to see how well they lived and what annual incomes they pos sessed. Even the poorest ranchers in Oregon would be astonished. Thelt only beverage appeared to be hard ci der and pure water.

A representa tive of the Associated Presa learned that the title of Mr. Bryan's book Is to be "The First Battle." In the preface he states his reason for writing the work in the following words: "The campaign of li'j waa a remark able one, whether we measure It by the magnitude of the Issue Involved, or by me aeptn of Interest aroused. I have been led to undertake the present work by the desire felt for myself and ex pressed by others, to have the more Im portant events of the campaign put In permanent form for the convenience of the people who have taken part In the contest, and for .the use of those who shall have hereafter a desire to review the struggle. The amount of work done by the advocates of free coinage is beyond computation and the num. ber of those who took an active part In the contest Is too great for enumera tion. These facts, together with the difficulty la choosing between so many meritorious speeches, have compelled me to limit the quotations to addresses made and papers issued bv landing In an official, or semi-official. capacity, and to the principal speeches delivered by myself. I have added a brief history of the campaign. Including a discussion of the election returns and tne significance thereof. It has also been thought best to narrate the part taken by me in the silver agitation prior to the convention and at the re quest of the publishers I have included biographical sketch written by Mrs. Bryan. It Is understood that the publishers. W. B. Conkey & Co., of Chicago, will issue toe book In the early part of January. Argentine news was evidently behind the indifference to the Chicago decline. Private cables reported further damage to the crops of that country by the heavy rains and that there was no rea- profusely decorated with Chinese lan- son to doubt that the next crop in Ar terns and bunting, and each and every gentine will be no better than that of one kept up an lnceasant fusilade of of the season now ending.

The Ger man government has lodged an energet ic protest with the state department against the action of the president in Imposing tonnage dues on German ships entering American harbors. The re ceipt of this protest will be duly ac knowledged, but there the matter is likely to rest, unless the German gov ernment takes steps to remove the charges on American shipping, which form the basis of the president's proc lamation issued yesterday. THE SEW YORK BANKS' RECORD Has Never Before Ikco Surpassed la History of the Country. DEPOSITS INCREASE RAPIDLY United mates Can Now Loan Money fo the Oldest and Firmest Financial Centers. New York, December 8. The New York Financier says this week: For the first time since December IS, 1893. the deposits of the New York clearing house banks exceed tSOO.OW.W the bank statement for the current week showing a total deposit of 1302,- 047,000, or an increase since November last, of W5.408.400. In other words the gain has been at the rate of 115.900,- 000 per week since the Monday following election. This record, it Is unnecessary to say, has never been surpassed la the history of New York banks. Thers is seemingly no cessation in the growth, of the deposit Item. It reflects, In part, the flow of money from the Interior; but a large percentage doubtless comes from the deposit of hoarded funds la saving banks. Then, too, there have been a number of financial operations of large magnitude which must be tak en into consideration and the treasury has been losing money to the banks. The loan feature la not less marked. The expansion for the week brings the total loans from I442.17J.700. reported November 7, to H72.JJ1,S0 for the week Just ended, a gain of nearly 30,004.000. It has required leas than alx weeks to change the market from a panic basis to one where the United States can loaa money to the oldest and firmest finan cial centers. This is one of the mnat noteworthy Incident that has occurred in American banking. Other feature of the current statement are about aa had been expected.

The managers of the lines of the Joint traffic associa tion have approved the resolution of the Central Passenger Association, re garding rates to the inauguration of Mc Kinley. The rate will be one fare for the round trip. Tickets .will be sold the first four days of March and the final as much beforehand as I learned after- I return limit will be at any Ume between wards I would have wired Gordon or Patton to send me enough money to buy an up-to-date suit. I was very care ful, but as it was, had to draw on them before I got away from the great me tropolis for funds with which to pro cure a coat of the kind needed. I knew of no class of people In Astoria who can afford to visit New York, unless It be the salmon packers. 'From New York I went to old Vir ginia, where I spent seven days In Richmond and three In Northrup. Richmond is becoming quite modern, and many Improvements have been made. Although all were complaining of hard times, I never saw such living and hospitality anywhere In my life. The white people, both the Hryan and tho sound money democrats (the repub licans are not considered quite respect able there) seemed to think that the negroes were about the same us any wild animal, and that their votes were hard ly worth counting. The whole election machinery of the state was In the hands of the Bryan Democratic organi zation, dominated by Senators Daniel and Martin, and was used honorably to carry out their special tenets. The great mass of the white people of Vir ginia were solid for sound money, and voted that way. The negroes mostly desired to vote the Republican ticket good naturedly because the Republicans freed them, but I was told that at a less ratio than 16 to 1, they were Induc ed to vote a la mode Astoria The gold Democrats were In great esteem In the March 5 and IS.

Denver, December 5. Sager and Swansbrough made six professional tandem records unpaced today. They rode thre quarters of a mile in 1:25, two-fifths of a second better than the record. They went for the ten mile rec ord and broke all records from six miles up. They rode six miles In 13:22, seven in 15:364; eight In 18:51; nine In 20:06 and ten In 22:16', three-fifths of a sec ond under the record. Sager and Swansbrough now hold all the world's tandem records up to ten miles with the exception of those for one and four miles. CABINET TALK. Washington, December 5. The arriv al of many prominent Republicans In the city, many of whom, have recently been to Canton, has caused an unusual amount of cabinet talk, some of which assumed quite definite character to day.

Mr. Hanna. Mr. Payne, General Porter, Senator Proctor and Representative Babcock, of Wisconsin., had a somewhat protracted conference with Mr. Cleveland. BAYARD DECLINES. London, December 5. It was learned tonight that Mr. Bayard Is unlikely to accept the Telegraph's proposed testi monial. The absence of prominent names from the list and the fact that only fifty pounds was subscribed out side the Telegraph, together wtth ad verse comment cabled from America, Is responsible for his decision. v THE BOY RELEASED. Red Bluff, Cal., December 5. Joseph Souso, the, nine-year-old boy who killed his step-father, A. C. N'unex, was dis charged from custody today on motion of the district attorney. Nunex was beating his wife, and the boy, fearing his mother would be killed, seized a gun and shot his step-father. HORR VERY ILL. New York, December Experiences in the Recent Storm on the O. R. and N. Mr. W. E. Tappan. who has Just re turned from his annual Eastern busi ness trip, stated yesterday t'o an As toiian representative that he found bus- -ness matters throughout the East gen- -erally Improving since the election. Mr. Tappan is now representing P. J. Mc Gowan & Sons, and will remain, in As toria for some little time before mak ing another trip. "On the return Journey I was unfor tunate, or fortunte enough, as you like. It. to be caught in the snow storm on the O. R. and N. at Bonneville last Monday.

The company furnished us with two meals a day, and besides that we ate everything in the buffet car.

' "President McNeill and Superintend ent O'Brien arrived on the scene Mon day morning, having succeeded in beat ing their way through the snow, and they soon had a gang of section men at work shoveling us out of the snow at a lively pace. The snow was thirty feet deep in some places. A rotary plow was sent down from La Grande, and another from Portland. Major McNeill did good work and fresh provision were brought to us from The Dalles as soon as the relief train got through. I want to say right here that every one of the sixtyive passengers on thai train fully appreciated the efforts made by Conductor Coleman to keep up onr spirits. He was constantly on the alert to devise new means of amusement, and his cheery presencs alone drove away the blues.
